Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an automatic continuous system for making glass fabric panels and light alloy cellular spacer elements.
  • Small weight and high mechanical strength panels are already known, which are practically constituted by an assembly including two outer walls, made of a glass fabric material, and having different compositions and gauges of the base yarn, which walls are applied on a central spacer element, constituted by a perpendicular sheet elements made of aluminium or special materials, arranged with a cellular arrangement, of honeycomb type, having a very small weight.
  • the outer walls are impregnated by binding resins such as, for example, epoxy resins, processed phenolic resins, vinyl resins and so on.
  • binding resins such as, for example, epoxy resins, processed phenolic resins, vinyl resins and so on.
  • a lot of manual step must be carried out such as: the cutting to sized shape of the glass fabric bottom wall, the impregnating of the latter and the impregnating of the honeycomb central spacer element, the introduction of the impregnated bottom wall into a specifically provided mold or in a specifically provided packaging mold, having a thermally active floor.
  • the spacer element after having stretched the honeycomb spacer element, as pre-sized according to compressed packs, of outside construction and supplying, the spacer element must be stretched within the mold above the pre-impregnated bottom wall.
  • the top wall is cut to size and pre-impregnated, and being applied to the honeycomb central spacer element, and then the mold is closed by the thermally active forming top plate.
  • the assembly is then supplied under pressing plates and the thermal polymerization process is started and continuously controlled, followed by a possible other post-polymerization step, and then the obtained article of manufacture is removed from the press-oven, and then subjected to finishing operations such as trimming, painting, coating steps and the like.
  • the aim of the present invention is to overcome the above mentioned drawbacks, by providing an automatic continuous system affording the possibility of making a composite flat panel by a fully automatic making operation, and by using very flexible and reliable systems which can be easily fitted without any preparation dead times.
  • a main object of the present invention is to provide such an automatic continuous system which is constituted by very simple modular assemblies.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide such an automatic system which, in addition to providing a fully finished panel in a ready for use condition, is very reliable and safe in operation and, moreover, is very competitive from a mere economic standpoint.
  • an automatic continuous system for making panels of a glass fabric material and being spaced by light alloy cellular spacer elements characterized in that said system comprises, in a cascade relationship: an expansion station for expanding therein a compressed cellular spacer element; a coupling station, for coupling to said cellular spacer element wall fabrics as well as holding layers, a polymerizing station for polymerizing resins impregnating said wall fabrics; and a trimming and cutting station for trimming and cutting the formed rigid panel.
  • the automatic system comprises an expanding station, generally indicated by the reference number 1, for expanding therein a compressed cellular element.
  • the station 1 is provided with a pair of facing tracks 2, the speed of which is suitably modulated, and which drive therebetween the compressed cellular spacer element, indicated by the reference number 3.
  • an expanding assembly 20 is provided, which is arranged after said tracks 2 and before the inlet of a pair of differential tracks 15, which are arranged in a facing opposite relationship, in order to modulate the speed of the expanded spacer element with respect to the pair of tracks 2.
  • the expanding assembly 10 which is monitored by a videocamera 11, is provided with a comb element 12 operating for expanding at the start the compressed cellular element 3, during the supplying step in which new compressed cellular blocks are supplied.
  • the disclosed system will pre-stretch and pre-pinch the head portion of the compressed spacer block and, if necessary, it will be butt-process said block, before gripping it, in a definitive and stabilizing manner, between the differential tracks 15.
  • the cellular spacer element which is now arranged in a distended position, as indicated at 3', is provided with wall fabrics 20, made of a glass fibre fabric material, supplied by supplying bobbins or rolls 21, therefrom the fabric is withdrawn, and caused to pass through an impregnating tube 22 and through a subsequent extending roller 23, provided for removing any cross and longitudinal folds.
  • impregnating rollers 30 for impregnating the cellular spacer element 3', which operate to improve the adhesion of the impregnated fabric to the cellular element.
  • Monitoring videocameras 42 are furthermore provided, for monitoring the fabric and holding film material supplying operations.
  • the system is moreover provided, downstream of the impregnating roller 30, with a coupling station, indicated by the reference number 50, including a pair of pressing cylinders 51, on which are entrained pressing tracks 52, made of photopermeable materials, adapted to connect the film material to the cellular spacer element and transport or drive it to the polymerizing station, indicated by the reference number 60, comprising a plurality of electric lamps 61, arranged at the top and at the bottom, which will molecularly transform the specifically designed photosensitive resins, as suitably controlled and modulated, in order to polymerize the aggregating resins which will provide a final stabilization of the panel.
  • a coupling station indicated by the reference number 50
  • a pair of pressing cylinders 51 on which are entrained pressing tracks 52, made of photopermeable materials, adapted to connect the film material to the cellular spacer element and transport or drive it to the polymerizing station, indicated by the reference number 60, comprising a plurality of electric lamps 61, arranged at the top and
  • the tracks will have an extension depending on the provided polymerizing time and will be designed with broad safety characteristics with respect to the provided packaging speed.
  • the tracks are made of specifically designed photopermeable materials, thereby they will allow the light emitted from the lamps 61 to pass therethrough, while intimate contacting the composite panel during the making thereof.
  • a pair of removing rollers 70 which will remove the holding film material 40, as a removal thereof is provided, for a possible reprocessing thereof.
  • the composite panel downstream of the two removing rollers, will have either a coated form or a not coated form, depending on the provided finishing programs and provided treatments.
  • a trimming and cutting station 80 for properly trimming and cutting the formed rigid panel, which station comprises rotary blade assemblies, the blades of which are made of special steel materials and will have any suitable contours, in order to longitudinally trim the panel and, if desired, to provide one or more longitudinal cuts; a cross blade 81 being moreover provided for performing flying cross cuts, said cross blade being mounted on a slidable assembly.
  • the made panels having the desired size features, will be conveyed to a packaging station 90 where they will be arranged on driven tables and rollers thereby they will be conveyed to finishing stations such as sanding, glazing and painting stations or the like, or, possibly, they will be stacked onto one another.
  • the used materials, as well as the contingent size and shapes can be any, depending on requirements.
